was it obama's first debate? just a bad night, or was it a rope-a-dope, meaning he said i'd rather take the punches today, i'll still get a 14-10 vote out of that committee, but if i were to attack back, it's almost like ted kennedy in the old days when he was attacked by an opponent. he decided if i attack back, i'm in the mess with them. if i don't attack back, i'll be okay. >> i think it was a mistake. it was like obama's first debate. it's like let's not try to lose this thing. i don't think that works in sports. i don't think it works in politics. >> prevent defense wasn't the answer here. >> that's right. hagel has a good case for why he believes -- for goodness sake, the last ten years of american foreign policy, these disastrous wars reaffirm hagel's basic instincts about the danger of taking america into war casually. he should have made that case. that's why obama chose him. >> do you think he has an articulation problem? is this endemic? he's going to have to stick up to a lot of people in the world, f

they're attacking him for being the guy who gets along with obama. president obama and chuck hagel agree on so many things they're actually friends. >> right. >> they have a positive view about the same things in the world. that's why he's going out and i think the president is sticking his neck out for this guy because he really wants him to be his defense chief. they agree on things. >> somebody pointed out to me that mccain said the statement "back when he was a republican," as if hagel is no longer a republican because he dares to agree with the guy hiring him to be the defense chief. look, mccain i think did put it out there. >> okay. dwight eisenhower wasn't a republican either because he wasn't a hawk, and he kept us out of indochina and the middle east, and he took the heat for that because he was a guy who knew what was going on in the world. >> right. >> and didn't believe in frivolous wars. >> you're not sufficiently republican if you don't want to bomb iran. it was ironic when john mccain put it out there and said basically, you know what
